Ali Nuhu: We’re The Voice Of The Consumer

It’s a programme that will run for a year. Since the day we were unveiled as Ambassadors of the Telecom Consumer we’ve been going round; we’ve done town hall meetings with some communities in Gwagwalada in Abuja, Agege in Lagos, Abeokuta in Ogun and Kano.

Telecom consumers should cooperate with us; NCC means well for all telecom subscribers. We’re going to step down to our local languages so that we can communicate with the average Nigerian anywhere, any day and anytime; so we’re representing the brand. We are voices for the consumer and we’re certainly going to deliver.

Poor Quality of Service (QoS) is an issue and NCC is seriously addressing it by impressing it on operators to improve the technical integrity of their networks and by educating the public on the need to realize that vandalisation of telecom infrastructure does damage to service delivery. Some people do not want telecom masts erected in their communities for fear that it is hazardous to their health, such people need to be educated on this; they need to know that various studies and researches conducted on this matter by global health authorities still say masts are safe. People need to understand that they need to cooperate with the NCC so that we can have more masts erected so that we can have more network coverage and better service.

We are grateful to the Commission for this honour and we are determined to do our best in the interest of the telecom consumers.
